Octapharma Plasma

Octapharma Plasma, located at 5398 Northfield Rd, Maple Heights, OH 44137, is a dedicated health facility specializing in plasma donation. This center is part of a vast network of plasma donation centers across the United States, committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and rewarding donation experience for all donors.

Whether you're a first-time donor or a returning donor, Octapharma Plasma aims to address all your questions and guide you through the donation process. They offer competitive compensation for both new and repeat donors, making it a financially beneficial endeavor. The facility is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and staffed by highly trained professionals to ensure a seamless donation process.

First-time donors are required to bring a valid photo ID, a Social Security Card, and proof of current address. Active military personnel should provide both their mailing and physical addresses. The initial donation visit typically takes 1-2 hours due to a comprehensive donor suitability screening, which includes an educational video, a health screening, and a detailed medical questionnaire. Subsequent visits are usually quicker, and donors are encouraged to call ahead to inquire about the best times to donate.

During your visit, you can enjoy free WiFi and HD televisions, and you're welcome to bring personal entertainment like books or music players. However, for privacy reasons, phone calls and photographs are not allowed in the center.

Octapharma Plasma follows all U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines, allowing donors to give plasma twice within a seven-day period, with at least 48 hours between donations. The body typically replaces the donated plasma within 24 to 48 hours, so staying hydrated is crucial.

The center places a strong emphasis on the importance of returning for a second donation, as the first donation is tested to ensure safety before it can be used in life-saving medicines. Donors are compensated for their first donation and encouraged to return 2 to 14 days later for a follow-up.

Octapharma Plasma accommodates Spanish-speaking donors and provides a mobile app to streamline the donation process. By using the OctaPass online system, donors can make their visits more efficient. Additionally, donors can earn points for tiered rewards, including Express Passes and e-gift cards.
